Shangshui Village is a small village near Haicheng, nearly 500 kilometers away from Mu Ruanruan's home, Lancheng, and it takes seven or eight hours by train.
Train tickets were hard to buy, so Mu Ruanruan was about to go to town to call home and ask them to buy some for her. Before she could make the call, Zhao Jinyu came and handed her a ticket.
Hard sleeper ticket.
She didn't act pretentiously. She took the ticket and breathed a sigh of relief. He was in carriage No. 4, and she was in carriage No. 7. They were not in the same carriage.
She immediately took out the money, but Zhao Jinyu smiled.
"It seems you have completely forgotten about the IOU." He said with a smile, looking in a good mood.
She had indeed forgotten about the IOU for a hundred dollars. It had been so long ago and she wasn't short of money, so she forgot about it and didn't even know where she had lost it.
"Here, the remaining ninety-five."
After he reminded her, Mu Ruanruan also remembered that she indeed still owed her ninety-five dollars. He had only paid her back once, with a five-dollar bill.
After taking the money, she took out the ticket money and handed it back to him, and casually stuffed the rest into her pocket.
Seeing Zhao Jinyu still reaching out to her, Mu Ruanruan didn't understand what he meant: "The money is counted correctly, I counted it twice."
"The IOU. If the debt has been paid off, you should give me the IOU."
So that's it.
"Um, about the IOU..."
"Lost it?"
Mu Ruanruan looked down at her toes without saying a word. Suddenly she raised her head and said, "How about I write you a note to tell you that your debt has been paid off."
I thought Zhao Jinyu would say forget it, but unexpectedly he thought about it and said, "Okay."
There is a pen, but no paper.
Mu Ruanruan was rummaging through her bag, wondering whether she should secretly buy a notebook or something, when she heard Zhao Jinyu say that there was no need to look for it.
I thought he had some paper, but when I looked up, I saw that he had a hand outstretched, his palm empty.
"Write this," he said, his tone unclear whether he was serious or teasing.
Mu Ruanruan was stunned and didn't react. What did this mean? Was this scumbag trying to tease her?
Since the time when her original body died, she was no longer restricted by the system in what she said, but she didn't want to scold him anymore.
The best way to deal with a scumbag is to ignore him. What else can you say?
Seeing this, he withdrew his hand and said awkwardly, "I'm just kidding. No need to write anymore."
After that, he handed her a piece of paper and said, "This is a letter of introduction. Remember to leave early."
A letter of introduction is needed to stay in a hotel, and he has already issued it. If it weren't for his poor eyesight and his preference for someone like Qiu Mei, coupled with his bad character, Zhao Jinyu would be considered a considerate person.
There was a reason why the family agreed to this marriage. Uncle Zhao was young and promising, and he was devoted and loyal, so he thought his son would not be too bad.
The bus ticket is for 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I need to go to the county to catch the bus. If I leave in the morning, it will obviously be too late, so I have to stay in the county the night before.
Mu Ruanruan simply packed some clothes and put some heavy objects into the space. She kept the pots, pans, and some simple daily necessities.
If you don't come back, leave it to the next resident.
My only regret is that I didn’t have time to tell Liao Xiaohong.
I can only write a letter to apologize to her when the time comes. I don’t know how things went for her when she met her parents, but good things should be coming soon.
With space as a carrier, Mu Ruanruan only brought a suitcase and went into battle easily.
"Mu, wait a moment."
After walking for ten minutes, Mu Ruanruan heard someone calling her from behind.
I stopped and looked back, and saw Uncle Peng driving an ox cart over with some things piled on it and a person sitting on it.
Jiang brown?
"Why are you here?"
Mu Ruanruan looked at Uncle Peng and said, "At this time, are you two going to the town to buy things?"
It’s New Year’s Eve already. Is there anything you haven’t bought yet?
Seeing Mu Ruanruan's puzzled expression, Uncle Peng said, "Your aunt wants to eat buns, so let me go to town to buy some meat."
This statement was full of loopholes, and it was obvious that he hadn't tried hard to find an excuse. Sure enough, Jiang He's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
It’s hard to say what you’re going to do.
However, with the ox cart, Mu Ruanruan was happy to ride it to avoid walking.
Jiang He didn't say anything the whole time. Only Uncle Peng would talk to Mu Ruanruan from time to time. However, the two of them didn't have any common topics and were silent most of the time.
When they were almost at the town, Uncle Peng continued to drive the ox cart and did not go in. Instead, he went around him and headed towards the county town.
"Master, we've arrived at the town."
Don’t even mention going to the county to buy meat.
"Well, the meat in town is not fresh."
Mu Ruanruan: "......"
Just talk nonsense.
"Uncle, let me get off. I'll take the bus from town."
Uncle Peng still didn't stop: "It's okay, it's on the way, why waste the money, the time is not much different, I'll hurry up."
After saying this, he whipped the ox on Niubei Mountain, and the old ox ran away for a long distance.
The town was not too far from the county, only about ten kilometers. Uncle Peng dragged Mu Ruanruan and Jiang He with him, and they arrived when it was almost dark.
Uncle Peng was a stubborn person, and no one could stop him from doing what he wanted to do. Mu Ruanruan knew that he wanted to send her off out of kindness, and she accepted the favor.
Since they were already there, she asked them to go to a roadside restaurant for dinner.
The two of them did not refuse.
Along the way, Jiang He didn't say a word and didn't look at her. He either looked somewhere else or at his toes.
Uncle Peng didn't speak to him either.
In this strange atmosphere, the three of them came from Shangshui Village to the county town and went into a restaurant.
During this special period, Mu Ruanruan ordered a few more dishes.
